The Cherished Wife

Chapter 353



Some people commanded attention without even trying, and Noelle was definitely one of those people.

Charles's eyes were dark and sparkling as he watched her, and he found himself breathing a little harder. Noelle felt someone watching her and turned to see him at the coatroom door, his gaze intense and focused on her.

Feeling her heart flutter, she nervously checked her outfit and asked, "What's up? Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing? What doesn't look good?"

She glanced at herself in the mirror again and twirled. Charles thought she looked like a magical fairy, and his breath stopped again. His gaze deepened, but he smiled, walked over to Noelle, and said, "You look great!"

He really meant it.

Noelle let out a relieved breath but still gave him a playful scowl. "You had me worried for a second there. I thought something was wrong with me!"

"There is something wrong," he said, his voice a bit deeper. It was a subtle sign he was trying to keep his cool.

Noelle, who was caught up in how she looked, did not pick up on the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "What's wrong, then?"

"You're my biggest challenge!"

Charles said with a gentle sigh, reaching out to softly pat Noelle's head before pulling her close. "You're so amazing. I wish I could just watch you all day. I'd even pin you to my pocket so I could take you everywhere and no one else could see you." His voice grew softer. "Not even other girls!" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Noelle's heart skipped a beat at his silly, sweet words. Did he not realize how much they meant to her?

She felt cherished, like a precious gem cradled in his hands, and it made her feel like she was his one and only.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked, noticing her stiffen a bit. His voice was gentle. "Do you think I'm being too much?"

"Not at all!" Noelle giggled, tilting her

head back to look at him. She wrapped her arms around his waist. "Charles, you say the sweetest things. Even if you're a bit too much, it's only with me." She smiled, snuggling against his chest. "Don't you know every girl dreams of Kearing her man say things like that? Especially from their very own domineering CEO!" Noelle playfully tapped his chest. "You're definitely my domineering CEO."

"Hey!" Charles's heart was brimming with lovesick affection ever since Noelle called him her man. Then, seeing her smile, he could not help but grin back. "This domineering CEO is all yours, Noelle!"
